Dear @tyme @AlwaysMyself

I love what your writing.

Thankyou greatly but I might have missed what @tyme does after University.

when I think of my ex husband - IQ 150 - he got checked when he was in prison - long story - another unnecessary lock up mental health -

I love what you wrote @AlwaysMyself

His father - he just died of old age - he thought his life was a failure because both his children my ex husband and his daughter have tough, tough mh.

So - computer easier after University ? I felt annoyed with my useless tutor re computer in University . My best friend did all my homework for me.

@AlwaysMyself a sibling of mine just retired fm ADF and walked into $250k/pa gig as wellnot sure what sounded like data base management. ok defence spent decades training him in lots dift fields, all free of course lol .He says its boring ... for $1000/day lol

@PeppyPatti i am fortunate I was taught to use computers from a very young age, because my father worked in IT. I don't write computer programming myself, but I can read a little of it.

I can imagine that it would be very hard to learn for anyone without a naturally sequential-logical thinking pattern or high attention to detail.

Where as I was not great at subjects at school where you had to remember dates of events or exact quotes from books. I cannot remember those details from memory very well at all! English and History exams were difficult for me. But I could do open-book or at-home essays or exams fine, so long as I could look up the exact details.

I dont think you missed what @tyme did for work. If you did, then I did too!

It is sad to hear that father thought his life was a failure because his children had MH challenges. It shows he cared for them, but it is sad he felt that meant failure.

@TAB database management as an external contractor... $250/pa sounds quite plausible if they are experienced. I have found contractors often charge double the hourly salary rate, but that also includes the fact they do not have sick leave, holiday leave, superannuation, or job security.

IT can pay very well! But it is always changing technology very quickly, and can be a lot of work to keep up with the latest changes and security. 🥴

oh , its one of the things he had done for years before @AlwaysMyself yes no hols etc

I believe so @AlwaysMyself

I'm wondering -:whilst I have this awful gastro thing - I'm going to stay flat on my back on loungeroom in couch....

Yawn.

Sorry to hear you have gastro @PeppyPatti ☹️. Hope it passes soon and you are back to normal again soon. ❤️‍🩹

What would it be like not stressed out about money ?

@$1000 a day ?

No stress.

No ---- oh let's just have cooked potatoes ( again ) with cheese on top

Driving a car that doesn't break down ....

@TAB @tyme @AlwaysMyself @Glisten @Shaz51 @ENKELI @Glisten

@PeppyPatti humans have this amazing (terrible) way to still be stressed about or because of money even if they make a lot of money. 😅😥

I agree @AlwaysMyself @TAB @@. My brother who gets squillions just .....lives ....

And .......

I buy coffee for a poor woman who lives on the top floor. She thought that her 4 children are The best adult children in the world and it's okay none of them could be bothered getting her ready when she got the call from hospital - for a liver transplant.

We are talking about the benefits of being super vulnerable.

@AlwaysMyself @tyme @TAB @Glisten @Shaz51

That's very sweet of you @PeppyPatti 😊. Actions like yours make the world a better place. Thank you for also sharing kindness around. 🥰
